    CANADA NEW ENERGY EXPORT POTENTIAL HUGE

    Canada needs policy fix for green growth, studies; Canada's green exports rank fourteenth in 2008
    Susan Taylor, March 25, 2010 (Reuters)

    "Canada needs a clear, sustained climate policy to help its nascent green energy sector cash in on a rapidly growing global market for climate-friendly technologies, two reports said…

    "Governments must set stable policy and incentives, invest in research and remove trade barriers to make Canada an attractive play to develop, sell and adopt green technology,
    [Global Climate Friendly Trade: Canada’s Chance to Clean Up from] the Conference Board of Canada said…It noted that the Climate Change Business Journal estimates the sector's size at over US$600 billion in 2008… [S]ome observers forecast it will become the world's third-largest in a decade…[though] Canada ranked fourteenth among countries exporting green technology in 2008, with exports valued at about C$4 billion…"

    "Its report sets out a game plan for Canada to establish 20 C$100 million cleantech companies by 2020…[saying] Canadian companies urgently need better access to capital, improved policy and more effective management of individual companies…The study found that 86 percent of Canadian clean technology companies have revenue below C$5 million…"
